North (1994) 12% 1/4 EDIT “Misbegotten and largely misdirected.” – Tulsa World Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The American President (1995) 90% 3/4 EDIT “The late Frank Capra's view of Washington politics is decidedly dated, if not entirely quaint. But in The American President, director Rob Reiner recaptures some of that old wide-eyed romanticism about American decency and democratic spirit.” – Tulsa World Jan 21, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% 3.5/4 EDIT “As courtroom dramas go, "A Few Good Men" is top-notch entertainment. It doesn't plow any new territory or set [any] new precedents in the genre, but it gives us a cracking good case, well argued and finely acted.” – Tulsa World Jan 9, 2026 Full Review The Princess Bride (1987) 93% 4/5 EDIT “With The Princess Bride, Reiner has added to his growing reputation as a thoughtful, original filmmaker. This guy hasn't made a bad movie yet. ” – Tulsa World Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Big Top Pee-wee (1988) 31% 2/5 EDIT “The movie's big climax is filmed without any pizzaz. It's a flat finale. ” – Tulsa World Dec 14, 2025 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% 3/4 EDIT “True Lies isn't a perfectly made movie, but it's certainly an entertaining one. ” – Tulsa World Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Super Mario Bros. (1993) 27% 2/4 EDIT “Those unfamiliar with the intricacies of Nintendo will probably find themselves wishing they could pull the plug on this intoxicating but ultimately droning light show. ” – Tulsa World Dec 9, 2025 Full Review The Abyss (1989) 76% 3/5 EDIT “Cameron is a masterly action director, and his powers in that area compensate for some of the story's weaker, far-fetched elements.” – Tulsa World Dec 9, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (1987) 59% 1/5 EDIT “Unfortunately, while this film is loaded to the pecs with action and violence, it lacks the self-parodying wit and imagination of Schwarzenegger's better action efforts.” – Tulsa World Nov 6, 2025 Full Review The Celluloid Closet (1995) 96% 3/4 EDIT “In the process, it takes a revisionist look at everything from Ben Hur to Hitchcock's Rebecca, and almost anything that Rock Hudson ever made. ” – Tulsa World Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Casper (1995) 59% 2/4 EDIT “The movie's special effects are impressive, but in the end the picture seems oddly lacking in spirit. It seems the filmmakers were so concerned with bits and bytes that they forgot to invest their movie with some much-needed heart and soul.” – Tulsa World Oct 2, 2025 Full Review To Sleep With Anger (1990) 93% 3/5 EDIT “Glover is an actor of enormous power and charm, and it's his reading of Harry that gives this story its many layers of truth and deception.” – Tulsa World Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Boogie Nights (1997) 91% 4/4 EDIT “Anderson's work is raw and often self-indulgent... But those are minor quibbles with a film that is as audacious, ambitious, original, inventive and downright jazzed as this one is.” – Tulsa World Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Toy Story (1995) 100% EDIT “The result is a clash of toy cultures and values -- nostalgic, old-fashioned simplicity versus visionary, space-age ingenuity. ” – Tulsa World Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Requiem for a Dream (2000) 80% 3.5/4 EDIT “"Requiem for a Dream" is a brave work, and one that demands a brave audience...it's a film that makes us look at a plague of modern life with new eyes...” – Tulsa World Aug 23, 2025 Full Review Mortal Kombat (1995) 44% 2/4 EDIT “For folks who expect their movies to actually contain sympathetic characters and telling engaging stories, this movie's like plugging quarters into a washing machine.” – Tulsa World Aug 20, 2025 Full Review Waterworld (1995) 60% 3/4 EDIT “For summer moviegoers, the movie is a rousing cruise that's well worth the relatively modest price of admission. ” – Tulsa World Jul 28, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) 88% 3/5 EDIT “"The Naked Gun" takes aim at its target -- the funny bone -- and hits it more times than it misses.” – Tulsa World Jul 24, 2025 Full Review Jurassic Park (1993) 91% 3/4 EDIT “Folks expecting some visionary moment, some life-changing epiphany, some monumental work of art from this film will walk away disappointed. It is, after all, only a movie. Not a great movie, but a pretty good one.” – Tulsa World Jul 1, 2025 Full Review The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) 57% 3/4 EDIT “Filmmaker Steven Spielberg has reassembled his original team and created a monster follow-up that's bigger, badder and much more scary than its predecessor.” – Tulsa World Jun 30, 2025 Full Review The Next Karate Kid (1994) 20% 1.5/4 EDIT “It's tired and cynical rehashing of old material. ” – Tulsa World May 30, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible III (2006) 73% 2.5/4 EDIT “The storyline is pitted with implausibilities, wild lapses in logic and crackbrained plot turns, but as we said previously, "Plot, schmot. Forget about plot. Nobody goes to a movie like this for the plot..."” – Tulsa World May 21, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible II (2000) 58% EDIT “Mission: Impossible 2 has all the expected trappings of the campy old '60s TV spy series that a big-screen incarnation should pay homage to. ” – Tulsa World May 8, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible (1996) 67% 3/4 EDIT “In wrapping up this mission with panache and high humor, De Palma and company have delivered the goods for some rousing, pop-corn-munching fun.” – Tulsa World May 6, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) 62% 3/4 EDIT “On the whole, "Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones" delivers the goods. ” – Tulsa World Apr 22, 2025 Full Review
